I think it's been over a week since I posted my "houses I don't like and why I don't like them" post. Now that I have created a base line, so to speak, let's move on to other houses that are great to look at.

The first house I will blog about is one we walk past frequently.

Of course it was custom built. Whoever did the designing did an excellent job. Unfortunately, my poor little picture does not begin to do it justice. (for one thing, I need a better zoom. The Coolpix is a compact camera and therefore only has so-so zoom capability)

This house sits well off the road and there are trees - lots of trees. It adds to the charm of the entire living arrangement, but makes it difficult to take pictures (especially as I have no intention of trespassing on private property - and yes I worry about people getting the wrong idea if they see me taking pictures of their house). It is also downhill from the road, which is noticeable because it does look like the camera is on higher ground.



Although it's impossible to see with this picture, the walls are stone (or stone facade, doesn't matter, it looks great). The trim is a rust brown color and the garage doors are dark gray. I don't know why, but there is something about this house that always makes us stop to look as we walk by.

I don't believe I would want to live in a house that large, but it is certainly lovely. It's one of the few houses I've seen with a hip roof that looks just right and not stunted.

Compared to the rather dull houses of the subdivision genre, this one is a vast improvement.
